9 May 2006

Etihad Airways has opened its new city centre check-in facility in Abu Dhabi, at the city terminal which is located in the heart of the central business district. The new 24-hour facility allows Etihad Guests to securely check their baggage in and obtain their boarding passes, without any of the distractions that can occur at an airport.

“This is a tremendous service for Guests of Etihad Airways who are in the city prior to flying with us. The Abu Dhabi city check-in is a very conveniently located facility, and has a fully operational ticketing, security screening, and baggage check-in,” said Geert Boven, VP Commercial, Etihad Airways.

The Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi city check-in also allows groups to pre-check in, in addition to Guests being able to use secured separate baggage transfer facilities and dedicated coach services to the airport.

“We want to make sure that Guests travelling with Etihad Airways have a relaxing experience before, during and after flying with us regardless of the time of day that they are travelling,”

continued Boven.

Diamond and Pearl Zone Guests will also have access to extensive premium lounge facilities, ensuring that the first part of their journey with Etihad is an enjoyable and comfortable experience.

“The new facility will make a huge difference to Etihad Guests staying in the city centre. Starting from today, the new city check-in will be open 24-hours a day, seven-days-per-week, enabling Guests in Diamond, Pearl, and Coral zone to check-in up to 24 hours before their departure,” added Boven.

The new facility has been welcomed by Etihad Airways Guests because the new service will afford them more time to conduct business, shop or even dine at the city’s numerous restaurants before a long flight.

‘Etihad Airways is constantly looking to make travelling with us a truly pleasurable experience. The Abu Dhabi city check-in is just one of many new innovative facilities and initiatives that we are developing. Etihad prides itself on making air travel as easy as possible for our Guests, even if it is as simple as shortening the time it takes to check-in,” concluded Boven.
